Power restored to most of Odesa after massive Russian strike, but emergency outages remain in effect due to heat – DTEK
Following the massive attack on the night of 9 August, energy workers managed to restore power to most homes in Odesa.
Censor.NET reports this, citing DTEK’s press service.
Repair work continues
However, repairs are still underway: another 2,600 households in the Peresyp district remain without electricity. DTEK crews are working at full capacity to restore power to all homes as quickly as possible.
"A significant part of the city and region is currently receiving electricity through temporary supply schemes. Because of the heat, they cannot transmit all the electricity required. To prevent equipment damage and large-scale accidents, energy workers have been forced to introduce emergency power cuts," the statement said.
"Please use electricity sparingly and switch on energy-intensive appliances one at a time, especially during peak hours from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.," DTEK added.
